THE body of a mum found in a Stockport park was reportedly discovered in "several parts".

A murder probe was launched after the body of Yvonne McCann, in her 40s, was found by a member of the public in Reddish Vale Country Park on Monday.

Her body was found in 'several parts', according to the MEN.

A 48-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is being quizzed in custody.

Friends and family have paid tribute to Yvonne, of nearby Brinnington, on social media sites.

One child posted on Facebook “Miss you mum”.

Another friend wrote “Please say it’s not true Vonnie.”

Police are now appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

Detective Superintendent Neil Jones, of GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “This is an absolutely devastating incident.

"First and foremost, our thoughts are with the victim’s loved ones and specialist officers will do everything they can to support them.

“Understandably, this news may cause concern within the community but I would like to provide some reassurance by saying that, at this time, we believe that this was an isolated incident.

"Nevertheless, there will be increased patrols in the area in the coming days and I would encourage anyone with concerns to speak to those officers."
